First of all, let me say that I have a great deal of respect for people that have come out of the closet, yet I know, from personal experience, those of us that, for whatever reason, do not feel that we have that as an option at this point. It can make life a living hell at times. I am almost 40 and have dealt with this for a good part of my life. I have very few people that I have come to trust to let them know everything about me. I think it is sad that we still live in such a closed minded society that we feel we have to not be ourselves. It is nice to know we are not alone, but if I can help anyone here, I am here for you. I am a very religious person and that plays a lot into where I am, yet, I have a unique view. I believe God loves all of us ... man is the only one that judges us for our sexuality. I look forward to getting to know many of you on here and us bonding together. If we can help one person to not feel alone, then this community has done what it is here for and I am glad to be a part of it. (&&&)
